One more thing, sounds like you are bipolar. You have to consider that bipolar is mostly a predisposition for many. There are factors like childhood environment and other life stressors that are at the root of and triggers for your depression. That said, I would seriously consider seeing a really good therapist, preferably one that has a phd and uses a psychodynamic philosophy. I would also find a good open minded psychiatrist. Remember, most mental illnesses are of bio-psycho-social origin. We can't go through life blaming everything on our biology. If we do, we may never truly get better. Therapy is not easy. Expect to feel worse before you get better. No pain no gain. God I hate that I said that but in this case it is true unfortunately. I know, it sounds cruel. You would think that after already suffering you should not have to suffer anymore in order to get better. I guess that is why you take to medication and hopefully are surrounded by support so you can be strong enough to work through the difficult issues.
